Windows 8, Microsoft's much heralded new OS, is the first major operating system to incorporate both touch and the traditional UI into a single user experience. Whether you’re new to Windows or upgrading from XP, Vista or Windows 7, this course will introduce you to this new OS and help get you started on a solid footing.

Good or bad, we publish all reviews that are constructive. Please detail why you like a tutorial program, or alternatively, why you do not.

No Subjective Opinions. We will not publish reviews that are simple opinion with nothing to back them up. For example, if you write "This tutorial is awesome!" and nothing else, your review may not be posted. Similarly, if you write "This tutorial sucks!" and nothing else, your review may not be posted. We need to know WHY you feel as you do about our tutorials. It's only fair ...

No Links to Other Websites. We do not publish reviews with links to, or mention of, other websites.

No Personal Comments About Trainers. Our trainers work hard to make excellent training, and writing a review that says "The trainer's voice is stupid" or "The trainer has no on-camera personality" is not the type of review we'll publish. Personal attacks are mean-spirited, so keep your comments constructive.

Only customers can write a review. If you didn't purchase the product, you can't review it. We do not publish your email address with your review, but we DO use the address to verify you've purchased the product. Fair is fair ...
